  • 240 ml lukewarm milk

  1. Prepare Dough: Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. In another bowl, combine warm milk and sugar; add melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually mix wet into dry ingredients and knead until smooth.
  2. Let Rise: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled.
  3. Make Filling: Cook chopped apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and water until tender.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Punch down risen dough on a floured surface and roll into a rectangle.
  5. Assemble Rolls: Spread apple filling over the dough; roll tightly and slice into pieces.
